I have just installed Suse and have Firefox, Office, Kmail and Knode on my
desktop. There are many others available in K menu but are there any more
not listed?

Just do a search for RPM repos and add them in using YAST.

"RPM Repos?" Sorry I have just installed the system and only got part way

I could point you to some repositories but I would need to know what version
of Suse you have installed. I would also need to know this since YAST
versions earlier than 10.3 differ slightly from this version.

RPMs are the software packages used by Suse. There are quite a few
repositories that hold Suse RPMs and these need to be incorporated into
YAST. Simple enough operation depending on your version of Suse and I can
walk you through it once I know what version you are using.

Go to:

/suse-10.1.-repositories-and-howto-444755/

for a full explanation of how to add software repositories. It much better
explained there than I could do. Any problems and come back here for help.
